Brake pads Akebono or Hawk Performance

Akebono ceramic pads. 99% of the dust is gone.

I run the Akebono ceramic pads and they helped a lot.

The brake pads you use make a huge difference. I had a Mustang before I bought my 340i that was insanely dusty, so I switched to ceramic pads and it’s made a massive difference. I’ve used them ever since. My car is mostly a garage queen who sees a back road on rare days when the sun is just right, so they’re perfect for me.

Akebono pads

I've used hawk hp plus with a CSL rotor setup for about a decade now and have been very happy. They fit my needs well.

Hawk ER1. They’re fantastic.

I used Akebono pro act 914a for the fronts. This combo has been working great for the fronts.

Akebono for pads. I put them to all the family cars/friends including Accord, CRV, Camry and now Civic.

I swapped from the ake’s to hawk on the last pad change. Hawks definitely don’t have the same stopping performance as the stock ones. I hate the dust from stock, but they work so much better Wouldn’t say the hawks were unacceptable by any means. Not worth the trouble to pull them out, but won’t be using them again

Hawk DTC-60 are known for tearing apart rotors. I went through 2 sets of OEM rotors on my m2 running Endless MS35 pads and I got the same grooving both times. Luckily without the vibration and shaking.
